Jalopy-3D-Printer

The Jalopy is a custom remix of the ender 3. Just seeing where this project takes me and where I end up.

Project Goals:

• Significantly Reduce overall print time

• Maintain or increase overall print quality

• Increase Speed/Acceleration

• Reduce vibration

• Reduce weight of moving components

• Increase weight of the nonmoving components

• Increase Stiffness of the frame

• Multiple Configurations (Mix and Match!)

• Show off how fast you can print taulman3D Carbon Fiber Alloy Nylon 3D Printer Filament!

• Print PEEK no enclosure!

• Take no prisoners!

• Have fun!
